Danke für dieses Video! Sehr informativ! Hab viel gelernt ❤

A gathering would be grand, mixin' up the styles a bit. There’s a few old-school Irish stick fightin’ styles - besides the Keegan style, there’s the Antrim and Doyle ones too. We could have a bit of a session, train together, and keep the traditions alive over a pint of the black stuff… cheers

Hi! Yes, we totally agree that mixing the styles would be a great thing. Our philosophy regarding any martial art or fighting style is: Not instead but in addition. Every style, every martial art has something that can make you a better fighter and give you a different perspective.

Interessante, ähnliche Lösungen gibt es in Eskrima und Hanbo. Auch der historische Aspekt ist wichtig.

Bricht nicht der Stock beim ersten Schlag? 🤷‍♀️

[@sobudo.academy]

Alles kann natürlich brechen. Aber das Holz aus dem Shillelaghs gefertigt sind, ist so hart, dass eine Verwendung, wie im Video gezeigt normalerweise überhaupt kein Problem darstellt.

So which stick fighting is the best ?

[@sobudo.academy]

Every style has its advantages. Our recommendation to you: train many different styles and find out for yourself which exercises make your body, your inner attitude and your soul happy. Then you have found your "best" style. 🙏🏻😊 Which style have you been practising so far?

Great lesson...maybe better with some less aggressive music?

[@sobudo.academy]

Thx for your Feedback 🙏🏻😊

How old do you have to be to be doing this …

[@sobudo.academy]

At the age of 7 you can already start light training and light exercises. 🙏🏻😊
